I have a very strong relationship with my family. They are always there for me no matter what I’m going through and they inspire me everyday. I am the oldest of three, I have a younger sister who is fifteen, a younger brother who is thirteen, and of course, my two wonderful parents. I feel like everyone thinks their family is incredibly weird, and I’m one of those people. My house is filled with pure chaos. Picture this, my father working in his office, my mother running around the house trying to get my siblings ready for a soccer practice, preparing dinner, or doing laundry, my brother playing the piano that’s in our living room, my sister hiding in her room, my miniature poodle barking nonstop, my puppy trying to play with my miniature poodle, and my cats bringing in dead rodents. This is a typical day in the Bychok household, but I love the chaos.
My family inspires me everyday because both my parents and my siblings have incredible work ethic- they give 110% in everything they do. Because of our close relationship I always aspire to do well. I always tried to do well in school, be involved in extracurricular activities, and an overall well rounded person. I’m not entirely sure how to explain it, but I never wanted to disappoint my family. Being the oldest out of my siblings I felt like I was obligated to be a good role model, and being a good role model meant exceeding in everything I did. Sure, there was an enormous amount at times but it was always worth it when my parents told me how proud they were of me.
Along with my immediate family, my extended family has had a huge impact on my life. Most of my dad’s side of the family lives in Hampton, New Hampshire, which is about 20 minutes away from my hometown of York, Maine so we see them all the time. We are all super close and my aunt, uncle, and cousin are three of the funniest people I’ve ever met. My cousin’s kids are the ones who validated my feelings towards wanting to become a teacher. I absolutely love reading to them, watching movies with them, and playing games with them. They all have bright minds and hilarious personalities. I love these kids and the rest of my family to death! They inspire me to be the best version of myself at all times.
